In other words, how do I know which of my players will mark which of my oppponent's players.
For a 3-1-... formation against a ...-1-3 formation, it should be obvious, but when I watched the animation before "3D" was introduced, players didn't always pair up in the way I thought they would. I tried observing some matches and writing down players' numbers, but didn't reach any conclusion..

In a coming match I have to defend against ST and AMC. I have a DC that is up to the job but my DMC is weaker than his AMC and I am considering playing an MC out of position (comments please). So I assume that the ST will be marked by an appropriately positioned DC and the AMC will be marked by whomever I place in the DMC position. If that's the case, who will my other two defenders a (I need 3) mark?

Thanks for any help.
